Kline’s Island Sewer System
The Kline’s Island Sewer System (KISS) serves 15 communities in Lehigh County. Transporting wastewater from each municipal system and treating it at the Kline’s Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, it plays a critical role in keeping each community safe and healthy.
Serving the Communities of Lehigh County
Each municipality is responsible for developing and approving an Act 537 Plan. In the KISS, these municipalities have decided to collaborate on a regional plan, which is currently in review for approval later this summer or fall.
